I was wondering what kind of gains you get from the shaker? I have the JLT cai with the91 tune.. Is it worth getting... Or is it more for looks?
I have the Saleen Super Shaker on my car. For those who are not familiar with it, it is a shaker intake for the Saleen Supercharger. It is slightly different from NA shaker in that for my installation, the throttle body actually gets moved to the back of the engine. This causes the air forced into the scoop to get jetted directly down into the TB and supercharger. The airflow curve is amazing.
Since getting it installed, I have not been on the 1/4 mile track so I am not able to report ETs, but I have been to the road course. On the straight aways, I can tell you first hand that she pulls REALLY hard now. Much harder than before the Super Shaker. I've had the Supercharger for over a year, so I was very used to the way it pulled before. Just my 2-cents that there indeed is a performance increase.
With the forced induction of the SC, I can say I probably will have more noticable results than a NA car when it comes to a shaker intake.

I read on the forums a few years ago where a guy dynoed his car before and after the shaker install. 3-4 hp was all it was worth.
